Heather Darby is an Agronomic and Soils Specialist for the University of Vermont Extension. She received her M.S. from the University of Wisconsin in Agronomy and her Ph.D. in Crops and Soils at Oregon State University.
Being raised on a dairy farm in Northwest Vermont has also allowed her to play an active role in all aspects of dairy farming as well as gain knowledge of the land and create an awareness of the hard work and dedication required to operate a farm. These practical experiences complemented by her education have focused her attention towards sustainable agriculture and promotion of environmental stewardship of the land
She spoke at UVM’s Food Systems Summit in June 2012. To learn more about the 2013 Food Systems Summit, please click here.
